Published Monday, Aug 6 2007, 09:16 BST | By Daniel Kilkelly
Former Coronation Street star Julie Goodyear has tied the knot with her toyboy lover Scott Brand.
The 65-year-old soap legend, who played Rovers landlady Bet Gilroy, married Scott, 39, at a secret ceremony. According to The Sun, they will celebrate their union with family and friends at stately home Hoar Cross Hall in Staffordshire tomorrow.
"We share a daft sense of humour and he knows how to treat a lady," Julie explained recently. "He admits he can't keep up with me. I tire him out."
Julie met Scott in 1996 when he delivered plaster to a home that she was renovating. The actress has had three previous marriages.
